Martin Wickers is teaching Alfie to drive but Alfie gets distracted when Martin begins talking about his upcoming sexcapades, causing him to run over the school caretaker Pod. The school begins fundraising for a surgery for Pod. Alfie takes it upon himself to help Pod take care of himself with cleaning himself and the chores around the house.

Rosie arrives at school in Richard's ambulance, which she has after he showed up to visit and drank himself out of his ability to drive home. Richard is also shown to have left his phone in the ambulance. The school raises over a thousand pounds for Pod's surgery.

School bully Grayson is transferred to Alfie's class, as no one else wants him in their class. Alfie wants to prove to Rosie that he can reform Grayson but then decides to enlist Grayson's skills to break into the ambulance and snoop through Richard's mobile. But then Grayson decides to take the ambulance for a joyride. Grayson has Alfie put the paramedic vest on and Stephen suggests Alfie try texting Rosie with Richard's phone to try to find out if there is more going on between then. The text replies make him believe Rosie lied about not being involved with Richard but he doesn't realise it's actually Martin replying, as he found the phone after Rosie misplaced it at school.

When Grayson parks the ambulance, Alfie is mistaken for a paramedic. There's a man struggling to breathe that keeps saying "pen." Alfie decides to perform a makeshift tracheotomy using a pen tube, after which Grayson says he has found the man's epi-pen in his bag.

Xing, Chantelle, Joe, and Stephen are still in the car and spot Pod walking about, who is not at all paralysed and runs away upon realising he has been seen.

Alfie and Grayson flee when the real medics arrive. The other pupils try to tell Alfie what they have seen about Pod but Alfie doesn't believe them. Grayson decides that the best way to cover up what they have done is to torch the ambulance.

Grayson later pretends to make Alfie look good in front of Rosie as an opportunity to swipe the key to the lock box off of him. Rosie catches Alfie when he's confronting Grayson about his attempts to steal the cash. At the assembly, the pupils get into an argument with Alfie over Pod faking his paralysis. Joe blurts out the truth regarding their stealing the ambulance and going for a joy ride. Alfie punches Pod in the legs repeatedly to prove the truth of the paralysis and the argument carries on until Rem Dogg pour hot coffee onto Pod's legs, causing him to scream and stand up.

Finally, Alfie confronts Rosie about the sexts between her, leading him to get caught for having Richard's phone. This argument is taking place in front of Grayson and Martin. Rosie says she lost her phone so Grayson tells him to call the number, and Rosie's phone goes off and explores Martin.

Martin and Alfie go out for dinner and it's revealed that Martin's new girlfriend is Grayson's mother. Alfie and Grayson are now on the way to being stepbrothers. Also Martin has pulled some strings to keep Grayson from getting expelled for his latest indiscretion.

Alfie decides to crash Rosie's book group but mistakenly thinks it's a BDSM session and makes an arse of himself. He later learns that Rosie's ex is in the group, and presumes it to be an off-putting man named Orlando.

Mitchell announces that he'll be leaving Abbey Grove. Fraser allows a farewell party to be thrown since rooms are being rented out to various after-school clubs and organisations to raise funds for the schools. Fraser offers to make some paperwork Alfie has to do disappear in exchange for his attending a LARPing session with him. This will be happening at the same time as Mitchell's party, and Alfie's schedules is further complicated when he decides to go to another book club meeting, wanting to impress Rosie.

Alfie's pupils are working on their personal statements while Alfie has to try to finish reading "Love in the Time of Cholera." As it's Mitchell's last day, he unleashes a series of pranks. He puts a mouse in Stephen's bag, a snake in Alfie's desk, and even orders 200 pizzas for the students using the school's account. Alfie's struggling to get through the book so with the help of Joe, he decides to have his pupils each read a chapter of it and present him with notes on it so he can get through it easier.

Mitchell tries to ask Cleo out but her qualifications for who she will date seem unachievable for him. He still lets her know about his going away party.

When Alfie meets Phillip and Malcolm, two other members of Fraser's LARPing club, they demonstrate their self-importance and propensity for bullying. He runs back to the book club and initially embarrasses himself again for not knowing anything past the first seven pages. He then makes it out to Mitchell's party where Joe gives him the notes all the pupils have written up. Upon returning to the book club, things work well briefly when using Xing's notes but upon getting to the others, Alfie comes across as a fool yet again.

Phillip and Malcolm capture Fraser and use him as bait to slay Alfie in the LARP session. Alfie learns that Rosie's ex wasn't actually Orlando, but Richard, the older gentleman in the group who was Rosie's lecturer at Oxford. Rosie wants space to think and now Alfie is even worse off than he was to begin with.

Mitchell approaches Cleo and babbles, trying to express his interest and worth, despite not meeting her standards. Cleo offers to kiss him if he'll only shut up, which he agrees to. Alfie is cornered by the LARPers and refuses to play any longer, opting to actually hit them instead of the make-believe violence within the confines of the game.

Mitchell tells the group that Cleo has agreed to go to Nando's with him if he doesn't brag about the kiss on Facebook (a kiss she described as the worst she's ever had). He says his goodbyes to the group, which are surprisingly touching but still in character. Rem Dogg even breaks his emo-silence to tell Mitchell he loves him. Alfie is arrested when he mistakes a cop for another one of Mitchell's pranks.
